Honestly, GSM's haven't been my thing in the past. Big bold Shiraz and Cab Sav's are my go. The occasional Cab Shiraz as well. But this actually surprised me a fair bit. Well balanced with great fruit on the nose. Medium bodied which normally isn't enough for me but the smoothness distracted me from the lack of full body. Really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone looking to branch out of their comfort zone and try something different but not too different.
